Episode 63 – You Could Be The Player

The Player

Today we are talking about The Player, the 1992 Robert Altman film starring half of Hollywood. Basically, it stars Tim Robbins as a Hollywood studio executive. Consequently he is being sent death threats in the form of postcards by a writer whose script he rejected, he just doesn’t know which one?

Griffin Mill: I was just thinking what an interesting concept it is to eliminate the writer from the artistic process. If we could just get rid of these actors and directors, maybe we’ve got something here.

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:

• The sheer number of celebrities in this film
• This ensemble cast, I mean!
• Great use of a window for a reflection shot
• The misused trope of the heel breaking on a woman’s shoe
• The great use of combining films like “It’s Out of Africa meets Pretty Woman”
